Earth Day reminds us that this planet is our home, and it is also the source of the resources that we need to live as we travel through time. This significant day focuses our attention on how we all can be more environmentally friendly in the neighborhoods of the cities where we live.

Conservation of our resources significantly enhances the quality of life of our homes and the surrounding area. We need to preserve these natural beauties for the long haul — for ourselves and those who come after us. We need to give Earth Day a huge priority, and to remember that it is not just one day a year; it is every day. Every day we should do something to improve the wonderful planet that God has given us that is the source of all that we need to stay alive. Earth Day, April 22, is a splendid reminder of how important the health of the earth’s ecosystems is, not just for wildlife, but more importantly for human quality of life.

Earth Day focuses on ecology, that is concern for the protection and preservation of the natural environment, reminding us of the integral and intimate connection of all creation in the web of life.

Earth Day calls all of us to be better stewards of the many wonderful resources that God has given to our home, Planet Earth. These resources have been with us for million of years, and we want them to last for many, many years into the future.
